Dominicans rice and beans (Moro de habichuelas)

Moro de habichuelas is a traditional way of preparing rice and beans in the Dominican Republic, and it's also one of the most commonly prepared dishes in the country. Although any kind of beans can be used in the dish, it's most often made with red or pinto beans, while fava beans, pigeon peas, white beans, and black beans can also be used.

Apart from the beans and rice, other common ingredients include onions, bell peppers, garlic, tomatoes, coriander, oregano, salt, and black pepper. The vegetables are sautéed in oil with the spices, while the rice and beans are added later with water.

Once everything becomes tender and fully cooked and the liquid evaporates, the dish is served warm as a side dish or a meal on its own. Moro de habichuelas is also popular during holidays because it can be prepared in a single pot.
